This arc is getting a bit long in tooth yes, but I don't think the series as a whole has yet crossed the event horizon of being Irreparably Bad.

I feel like the nadir was the joint training arc and it has been really good ever since then. I feel like the breaks we've had have made this feel like it's taking too long.

Shinso's new voice changer is pretty cool. I wonder if there's such a thing as a hero that negotiates in hostage situations, because Shinso would be really great at that.Lt. Lizard posted:Um, kinda opposite? At least for me.

TheKingslayer posted:At this point I think the My Villain Academia chapters will mark where this series started to suck. Um, kinda opposite? At least for me. MHA sucked from the Overhaul arc to the beginning of My Villain Academia. There were some strong parts like the School Festival and Endeavor, but overall it was pretty drat bad. From My Villain Academia to recent chapters the series has been consistently great.

i would like this arc a lot more if I didn't have to read each chapter, then read it again after reading the thread so I can actually understand what I'm looking at like this part should all be really cool I think! the villain just got the powerup that's been teased for the entire series, eraser is indeed a badass, and multiple characters I like are in danger! but it's hard to get really invested when I can't see what the hell is going on lol

Horikoshi is a fantastic artist with a rare genius for great character designs and incredibly gorgeous still art, but he's absolutely not good at composing and drawing clear, concise action sequences with an obvious flow.

At least the anime cleans up where Hori messed up. Deku vs Overhaul, Lemillion vs Overhaul (before the slideshow stills), and Endeavor vs High End were all visually fantastic

I never really get a good sense of the flow of the action. Like, what moves are being made and how decisions are being countered. Whenever something new happens it just always feels jarring.

Could've sworn we saw Shiggy holding a controller at some point Probably uses thumbs for sticks/button inputs, index for trigger/bumpers, and supports with middle/ring while keeping pinkies out rather than a claw grip where you swap to using the index finger for face buttons Then when he gets mad, he grips the controller with all fingers and dusts them, yes

The big scene comes where Deku is going to pass on his other quirks to the other members of class A. Suddenly Mirko shows up and he changes his mind and gives them all to her.

Shere posted:The whole time I've been wondering what the consequences for terminating the doctor's process early will be. I think if Shigaraki winds up hitting a limit, it'll be related to that. My guess is going to be that he's probably already hit some kind of limit but he's putting on some major intimidation factor and once this fight end and he makes his escape we're going to be shown how hosed up he actually is so the reader gets to see that he isn't a literal god now, and that'll keep him low, but not completely out of the game this time, while the heroes recover.

Spoiler time Flashback to what happened with Machia. The sedative didn't work and he goes berserk in a rad 2 page spread. Also we get confirmation that Mirko is still alive. Back to Shiggy. Deku is realllly pissed at him and it looks like Shiggy's body start failing(his arm almost falls off) because he's only 75% complete(the name of the chapter is 75%). Shiggy decays the ground and Deku saves everyone by using Nana’s quirk Float and holding everyone with Black Whip. EDIT: Break next week.

If this chapter is like 15-16 pages you know Hori is overworked again, which would explain the break. I can't remember what the schedule usually works out as but generally for the "holidays" where the magazine goes on break I thought most mangaka actually have to do MORE work.

i didn't read any of the spoilers yet so while traditionally i do if i happent o guess something in them its just me being chill and good and cool i wish uraraka beat gigantomachia by having iida run over and she used her powers to just make him go to space, instnatnly dying in a vaccuum. she can deal with throwing up for a few minutes or w/e if thats what it takes to save the earth

She made a plan and managed to slow down the second most powerful villain in existence. I really don't see how this is a particularly damning failure for her, she managed something that so far literally no other heroes or the League of Villains managed to do which is slow down a walking mountain of a man. The fact it didn't keep is because Gigantomachia is just that overwhelmingly powerful, and to be frank he might still pass out next chapter. She made a plan and everyone worked together and survived, just because she didn't "win" doesn't mean she needs to be removed from the story.

The real problem with Momo is that her power is outright too powerful if it was used even to 1% of its capability, even moreso that punchy OFA. Why is it that city shattering punches are allowed to be non-lethal but Momo can't use explosives with the same degree of power? Or since we're clearly past the Godzilla Thresdhold (what with Endeavor basically trying to use lethal force), what if that giant tranquilizer canister was filled with chlorine trifluoride instead?

Why is it that city shattering punches are allowed to be non-lethal but Momo can't use explosives with the same degree of power? As for killing- it would be kinda dark to have the kids going for lethal force. Momo literally built howitzers and those didn't work. She'd have to probably pop out a Davy Crockett at this point which arguably- would be less dangerous to everyone around her than making chlorine trifluoride. Any gas is just out- there's allies all around and a guy who creates gigantic blasts of air.
